“The newly elected Ducsu and hall union leaders will call on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at her Ganabhaban residence on Saturday afternoon,” Prime Minister’s Office sources said on Friday. Chhatra League nominated Sammilita Shikkharthi Parishad panel swept the Ducsu polls, bagging most of the 25-member executive committee posts, except for the vice-president (VP) and social services secretary positions. In the March 11 Ducsu and hall union polls, the ruling party’s student wing won full panels in most of the halls, and secured 23 posts in the central union. This is the first time in the history of Ducsu polls that the ruling party’s student wing bagged most of the posts in the polls. Bangladesh Sadharan Chhatra Adhikar Sangrakkhan Parishad (BSCASP), popularly known as Quota reformists, backed candidate Nurul Haque Nur who was elected Ducsu VP, while Chhatra League nominated candidate, Golam Rabbani, won the general secretary (GS) post.
